Where Edena wins

Three differences your team feels from the very first month.

Communicating is just the start

Notices and read receipts are in Edena too. Dinantia adds attendance, a daily diary and timetables. Connected student records and invoicing live in Edena, without another tool.

Student records and school management
  • Edena Records, groups, timetables and the office Included
  • Dinantia Attendance, timetables and a nursery diary Partial

Money, sorted

Dinantia takes payments in the app and has a shop. Issuing VERI*FACTU invoices, running SEPA direct debits and tracking arrears does not appear in its public information. In Edena that is one flow.

Invoicing (invoices and direct debits)
  • Edena Invoices, SEPA direct debits and arrears Included
  • Dinantia Not included or no public information Not included or no public information

One less tool to pay for

If today you pay for a communication app and a management program separately, Edena replaces both, from €36 a month.

Frequently asked questions

What schools coming from Dinantia ask us most.

What is the difference between Edena and Dinantia?
Dinantia covers communication with families, attendance, an admissions CRM and a shop. Edena brings that communication together with student records, VERI*FACTU invoicing, SEPA direct debits and AI in the same platform, with the CRM connected to the student and the invoice.
Does Edena have permission slips with digital signature?
Yes. Families sign permission slips and documents from the app and the school sees instantly who has signed.
Can I try Edena before switching?
Yes. 30 days free, with no card and no lock-in. And if you decide to switch, we migrate your data at no cost. Dinantia also publishes a 30-day trial.
Dinantia already has a CRM and a shop. What does it not cover?
Dinantia publishes communication, attendance, an admissions CRM, a shop and presence tracking. VERI*FACTU invoicing and SEPA direct debits do not appear in its public information. In Edena the CRM is connected to the student and the invoice.
Does Edena have roll call and time tracking?
Yes. Roll call and student absences, and staff clock-in from a phone. Dinantia also publishes roll call and staff presence tracking.
Can I move from Dinantia to Edena mid-year?
Yes. We import students, families and groups, set up invoicing and onboard families to the app. Most schools are up and running in two weeks.
